Anna Yvette - Menagerie [ Synthpop ]

Menagerie is about healing yourself from trauma. The fragile twinkling music box synths contrasting with deep rich bass synths represent this complex emotional time. Much like the novel the song is named after, I spent a period of time isolating and suffering from severe PTSD after leaving a toxic situation. During that time, I created so many songs but barely left my studio to be in the real world. This song reflects how you can be trapped by the beautiful things of your own creation. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/annayvette/menagerie Lyrics: She She has a lovely room On the second floor She likes to be alone She feels safe when she's in control Afraid of letting go But time is running out She's fading like a star Light years away She wonders where you are If you'll come back someday She sings on her guitar and plans her escape She's trapped inside a dream In her glass menagerie La-da-da-da-da Ha-ha La-da-da-da-da Ha-ha La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da Ha-ha La-da-da-da-da Ha-ha La-da-da-da-da-da She keeps all the things you said On repeat inside her head Built a prison in her mind She feels safe Caged in by your words She thinks this is what she deserves Punishment for all her crimes She's fading like a star Light years away She wonders where you are If you'll come back someday She sings on her guitar and plans her escape She's trapped inside a dream In her glass menagerie La-da-da-da-da Ha-ha La-da-da-da-da Ha-ha La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da Ha-ha La-da-da-da-da Ha-ha La-da-da-da-da-da She
